Whipped
By Sabrina York

Dane Coulter is mourning the loss of his
best friend, fellow Special Ops buddy, Cody. Oh, Cody didn’t die. It’s worse.
He’s getting married. Cody is, in Dane’s opinion, whipped. Dane swears he will
never suffer the same fate. But when he meets a woman who can take all his
dominant loving and beg for more, he realizes he may have met his match. It’s a
damn shame she’s the one woman in the world his man-code deems untouchable…his
best friend’s sister.

Timeless
Desire By Lucy Felthouse

Emily arrives at Westbury Hall to clean
and conserve all of the books in their impressive library. Not long into her
stay at the house, she bumps into the night guard, George. She’d expected an
old, balding guy with a comb over, so the hunky chap she actually meets is a
very pleasant surprise. The introductions complete, George leaves Emily in
peace to get on with her job. But when a falling photograph sets off a chain reaction
of ghostly events, Emily and George are thrown together in order to find out
who—or what—is causing them. Their investigation uncovers a tragic past, a lost
love, and a stunning secret.

Shut
Out By Liz Crowe

A submissive once, a submissive forever?

Two people, horribly scarred by the
excesses of the BDSM lifestyle and hiding from their true selves, meet across a
desk over a simple contract. All bets are off.

Meet
the Author

Craft beer marketing expert, best-selling
author, beer blogger and journalist, mom of three teenagers, and soccer fan,
Liz lives in the great Midwest, in a major college town. Years of experience in
sales and fund raising, plus an eight-year stint as an ex-pat trailing spouse,
plus making her way in a world of men (i.e. the beer industry), has prepped her
for life as erotic romance author.

When she isn’t sweating inventory and
sales figures for the brewery, she can be found writing, editing or sweating
promotional efforts for her latest publications.

Her groundbreaking romance subgenre,
“Romance for Real Life,” has gained thousands of fans and followers who are
interested less in the “HEA” and more in the “WHA” (“What Happens After?”)

Her beer blog a2beerwench.com is
nationally recognized for its insider yet outsider views on the craft beer
industry. Her books are set in the not-so-common worlds of breweries, on the
soccer pitch and in high-powered real estate offices. Don’t ask her for
anything “like” a Budweiser or risk painful injury.
